If you have ever used eHarmony then you will find this site to be quite familiar. You are given a page of new matches from where you choose to show interest in or not. At eHarmony you decide to start communication or not.

The eHarmony communication process has one more step, that being the first step of what is termed closed ended questions, which are basically multiple-choice icebreakers. The next step at eHarmony is the first step here. That is the exchange of Must Haves/Can’t Stands, which here are termed Relationship Essentials.

The difference is that here you choose 5 things you like and 5 things you don’t from a list and then give each a value of how much you like or don’t like them by moving a slider between not important and important. This allows you to assign a visual value to just how important you feel these are to a relationship. For example: I chose the statement about humor being important and put the slider almost all the way to the right showing that I find humor to be really essential.

Another difference between here and eHarmony is when you show interest in a potential partner here the system asks you to move a slider between no interest and high interest. This is not for the other person to see. It is so the system can learn about you and who you might be looking for. They say:

Our system is designed to continually learn from your feedback: who you like and who you don’t like.

Your input is automatically integrated into our matching system so that over time we get a more complete picture of who you are and the kind of person you’re looking for.

This is an interesting feature if it actually does as it says. Also it makes you think that the longer you continue to use the site the better your chance will be of finding someone you really like as the system gets smarter. From an income point of view this may be one of their better ideas as the longer you stay the more you will pay.

You might want to give Chemistry.com a try if you are in Seattle, San Diego, Denver or Washington D.C. as they are presently beta testing the system and it is only open to singles in these areas.
